Start by soaking the walnuts in a bowl of water for an hour or two. This is to soften the nuts enough to make it easier to blend in the food processor. I chose to soak the nuts because I have burned up the motor in other processors with nuts before. If you want to skip this step, be sure to cut off your processor if it smells like it's burning.

Drain the nuts after soaking. Put all of the ingredients in the processor except the chicken broth. Add 1/2 cup of the broth to wet the ingredients to make it easier to blend.

Run the food processor until a paste forms. Add broth a little at a time until mixture is wet enough to spread. The amount of broth you use will depend on how wet the nuts were. Set mixture aside.

Spinach Stuffed Chicken Recipe

4 skinless boneless chicken breasts

2 cups fresh spinach

1 onion, chopped and sauteed

1-2 cups Gluten-Free Stuffing Paste

1. Cook Chicken Breasts

Start by cooking the chicken breast on a grill, in a pan, or in the oven. Do not cook fully, but leave some of the meat pink. This will keep it from overcooking when you put it in the oven to heat up the spinach and stuffing.

2. Cut a Slit in the Breasts

Take each piece of chicken and cut a slit in the center. Do not cut all the way through. Stuff with a few pieces of sauteed onion and two fingers full of spinach.

3. Spread Stuffing Paste on Top of Chicken

Spread about 1/4 cup of paste on top of the chicken. I also sprinkled a bit of sauteed onion on top of the paste.

Bake in the oven at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes. Pull out when the stuffing has browned on top.

What I Served With This Meal

Since I am working hard to eat fewer calories, I have been putting together side items made mostly from vegetables. With this meal, I steamed green beans. Also, I served mashed cauliflower bake.

My family really enjoyed the way this turned out. With the leftover stuffing paste, I made chicken casserole the next day. That is another meal that I enjoy eating, but have skipped out on for quite some time because of the bread.

If I was making this stuffing recipe over, I would not have put the eggs in the blender. Instead, I would have chopped them up in kind of big pieces. Then I would have mixed them into the paste I made. That would give it texture similar to stuffing. Hope that helps someone.

Hi! Do you think this stuffing could be frozen? (not sure if egg can be frozen??) This looks like a recipe we definitely want to try, especially great for our gluten-free family due to intolerances. Thanks!!

I’ll be honest with you, I do not know how much the consistency would change if you chose to freeze it. You can try it. My suggestion would be to allow it to drain through cheesecloth. I assume it would make it kind of watery. Hope that helps.
